Why I can't search text in actionscript in a sprite

I use Adobe Flash CS3.
I want search a string in the as of a sprite. 
I use "edit"-->"find and replace", the editbox are:  "current document", type--"text",  text---"trace". and I click "search all.
I can't fine anything, but the string is in one of the sprites.
Haw can I find the string in the sprites, help me!

I believe that search only works on objects that are on a timeline. So if the sprite you are looking for is in the Library and created only through code you won't be able to find it.
What I usually do is drag everything onto some new empty keyframe and then do the search. Once I figure out where the code I need is then I delete that frame and work on the item from the library.

    No, search/sort by date isn't available on the  phone.

    Why can't I text with non Apple equipment?

    You can with third party apps. You just can't use Messages in order to text since it only works with other iOS devices and Macs running Mountain Lion.

Because of this I do my search with windows and then browse each result with Bridge! which really annoying.

    You can do a search of an external drive if the OS permissions are OK.  Bridge will not search across different drives however.

  • Can't include a reset button/process that cleans a search text field

    Hi all
    Using apex 3.0.1 on a XE edition
    In my app there's a report that displays a lot of records.
    I included an text field item, where user can type a search criteria, then i added a button called "search" which, when submitted, display the records where search criteria is included.
    Now, my problem is that i can't put a "reset" button, which, when submmitted, is supposed to clear the search text field, so the report display all records.
    I tried adding a branch that triggers when reset buttos is pressed, clearing cache of search text field. It didn't worked, search string keeps on showing on text field.
    Then i changed the process, instead of clearing cache, setting search text field item with a value of null. Didnt work either...
    Does anyone have a good example of thjis type of reset button???
    tnks in advance....
    Fernando

    yes Earl, i know it's pretty standard...but i got some trouble... anyway, i think it was just a "lapsus brutus" o' mine... It's solved now and here's what i did:
    I created a text field button (where search string will be typed), a "submit as Go" button, and a "submit as reset" button. Then i created an uncondicional branch to same page, then i created a Clear Cache for Item process, where the text field cache is cleared, conditioned when "submit as reset" button is pressed.
    That solved the problem, thnx very much for your help

  • Why can I receive text messages but not send?

    Why can I receive text messages but not send. This has been happening for about 10 hours.

    Thanks for the response. Must be smart phones. My daughter has a dumb phone and she can send out. I tried deleting my text messages on the Verizon website, but they won’t delete. It must be on their end. Chat line was busy forever, until they shut it down.

  • Why can't I text or email photos

    Why can't I text or email photos?  It doesn't indicate that it wasn't sent, but I know they're not being received.  Thanks!

    You need to discuss the problem with your carrier. If the phone indicates it was sent, it's getting an aknowledgement from your carrier that they received it. From that point on, it can only be your carrier, the receiving carrier or the interchange between the two that's the problem.
    Does this happen with everyone you try to text, or just some people? You can set up a free google voice account and try texting to/from that.

  • Why can I only text 10 people with the IPhone 4s

    Why can I only text 10 people at a time with the IPhone 4s?

    Apple has, to the best of my knowledge made a statement about why they have included this limitation. To prevent spamming perhaps? There are group texting apps available in the App Store that my suit your needs.

  • Any ideas why I can't text my friend  my iPhone 5s to her Samsung galaxy s4 mini? I have turned on my SMS when iMessage is in available but still nothing

    Any ideas why I can't text my friend  my iPhone 5s to her Samsung galaxy s4 mini? I have turned on my SMS when iMessage is in available but still nothing

    Ask your friend if they use to have an iPhone and used iMessage.  If so, they probably didn't unregister their phone number with iMessage before changing phones and your iPhone is still trying to send iMessages to their number.  If that's the case, they need to contact Apple support and request that their mobile number be unregistered for iMessage.

  • Why can't I text friends who don't have an apple product?

    Why can't I text friends who don't have an apple product?

    The iPad cannot send traditional text messages (SMS) which are platform independent since they are a carrier service.
    The iPad uses Apple's own messaging service iMessage to send messages. Which means only Apple devices can receive those.
    If you need to message people on other platforms you need a different messaging App liike Skype or Google Hangouts.  Note, that these will not be SMS messages like your phone can send. They'll be internet based messages so the other user will have to be registered with the service you choose to use, and you will have to have him as a contact in that service to be able to send them a message.

  • Adobe Reader 9 cannot read text, thus can't search

    Just six days ago I was able to search the text on a PDF doc. Starting today or maybe yesterday, I couldn't search the same document with those texts. And I couldn't search that same PDF document online which was where I downloaded it from and could use the search engine before. What is going on??? The Adobe Reader program is only seeing the doc as a picture. But I can search other documents that have highlightable text. HELP! I want to fix this search engine problem! Thanks, much appreciated!

    I'm absolutely positive that I could search text on the PDF before. In fact, I did a lot of searching. Now I cannot do any searches. And yes, I checked the fonts thing and there is none. I'm completely boggled about this. And I used google to find the pdf and could search the PDF while opening it under google. Now, I can't.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Can i search a document for text in column a to return the entire row if column a matches in a separate sheet?

    Can i search multiple sheets in a document for text in column a to return the entire row if column a matches in a
    separate sheet?

    Thank you, Barry. That was helpful, and am hopeful that what I want to do is possible.
    I am creating a spreadsheet that currently has 20 sheets, of which certain sheets have more than one table.  I will be adding more sheets.  I would like to return results for all occurences of the search string.  Preferably into a seperate spreadsheet.  It would be perfect if that seperate sheet updated whenever I update information in the first spreadsheet.  To give an example:
    Sheet:     baskets
         Tables:         straw
                             wire
    Sheet:      barware
         Tables:          glasses
                              decanters
                              coasters
    My tables all have the same titiels:
    Vendor      Description     Cost     Selling Price
    Since I will have upwards of 100 sheets, with multiple tables, and most of my vendors will fit into multiple sheet categories, it would be helpful if I could also see what my order will be from each vendor, not just who I will be ordering each item from.  How would I do that? 
    I hope I conveyed that properly. 
    Thank you in advance for your help,
    Rana
